"We're peaceful people, but one edict (from the imams) and the entire American Army will become our prisoner," said Hassan Azab, a member of the local district council.

Go ahead, Hassan, make our day. This is the nuclear ALCM, the most powerful cruise missile in the world. It could blow your whole country clean off.

Time we give Saddam his country back. Maybe that will make them appreciate what we done for them.

If you are firing guns and rocket-propelled grenades at soldiers, you are not civilian. You have just declared yourself the enemy and you will be fired apon.

Bring back the Sheridan-Zippos

The spokesman said the benchmark for the departure of U.S.-led forces "remains having Iraqi people write a new constitution for this country and having it approved in a referendum, holding democratic elections and then hand over power to a sovereign, elected Iraqi government."

Looks like the troops will be there for generations.

Arab mindset and religious zealots will not allow this to happen.

The entire army will become their prisoner when pigs fly. Which would make the Sand Savages even more unhappy. Flying pigs would mean every part of their pest hole nation couldn't enter their Pimp's heaven.

COuld we substitute a bunch of porkers hung from helicopters, flying all over?

Keep in mind that it is possible that this particular reporter might have a biased point of view.

The story, as it unfolds is, the helicopter was hovering above a tower shooting video of the demonstration. The tower had an islamic flag which got caught in the rotary propeller of the helicopter (not so that the helicopter was trying to destroy the flag intentionally) and demonstrators on the ground started shooting at the helicopter and then at some of the U.S. Soldiers.

U.S. Soldiers returned fire.

When, oh when, will we ever get objective factual report from the middle east?
